Alienware 15 Battery replacement

I've got an error message on my laptop that the battery needs to be replaced.

I just ran the Dell application for checking the laptop and it says the battery is fine (it most definitely isn't - great piece of software that is).

I then had a look on Youtube on how to replace a battery on an Alienware 15.

You have to dismantle the whole computer to replace the battery.

It is most incredibly stupid. I'm never going to buy a Dell again. What a stupid stupid design set up.

I wouldn't mind if they made batteries that lasted. Every Dell laptop I've had the first thing to go is the battery. In this Alienware 15 you'd need a degree in electronics to replace it. It's older than a year so it can't be replaced by warranty.

I'm desperately disappointed.
